Face Masks

Halloween masks

Deciding what costume you are going to wear on Halloween night may just be the start of your dress-up plans. Adding a mask, wig, or other accessories can take the ordinary costume to creepy new levels. Suddenly that zombie costume becomes all the scarier with the addition of an eerily realistic looking rubber or latex mask. Modern Halloween masks have detailing and a look that far outweighs simple make-up alone and a wig that is a different color from your natural look can turn your sexy blonde nurse costume into a ravishing redhead.

Perhaps you haven’t decided on a costume yet and a Halloween mask might prove to be just the thing that helps you decide. Think how many characters wore masks in the comics and movies and before you know it you could be Batman, Jason from Friday the 13th, or the creepy stalker from the Scream movies with that long, white faced mask. The addition of other accessories such as plastic knives and weapons and perhaps a splash or two of fake blood can make you look like a real Halloween nightmare.

Wearing a mask is a great way to get into the character without feeling self-conscious about playing the part and is a great way to keep your friends guessing about who is hiding behind the disguise. A fun party game might be for everyone to show up in masks and with a prize going to the person that guesses the most correctly.
